On April 29th I started my day at 2:45 am. I drove with three friends to a lek in Southern Alberta. We had to be in the blind by 5 am. It sure took a long time before there was enough light to take photos. We could hear the grouse. They were making many sounds and e could see their outlines in the dark. It was another great day. The last time I was out there was two years ago.
I was using a brand new camera so I had many photos to delete and of course far too many photos over all. Most photos were only cropped. I didn't adjust any colors. Some photos are not even cropped.
Thanks for your visits and comments. They are all greatly appreciated!

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Captured up close, I loved the sharp focus of this woman looking down the street and was so pleased to get some sharp focus of my own for the image.
This is the same woman I captured 'Turning Around' here flic.kr/p/MHyk6A. She had such a strikingly beautiful profile but I was so pleased to, unusually for me, click the shutter again when she turned around. Enjoy!

Kenton County, KY, 11-24-18. I don't often see these, especially in my backyard. This one stayed nearly motionless for about an hour in the same spot.

This is the new shopping centre in Las Vegas. The building on the right is a Prada store. I took a similar shot in a different orientation which I will put in the comments.
‘She would have been a good woman if there had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life’!
-Flannery O'Connor, A Good Man is Hard to Find
This quotation, at the end of the story, reveals the Misfit’s understanding of what has occurred in the grandmother’s final moments, and he seems to recognize two things about her. First, he fully understands that despite her obvious belief in her moral superiority—which she conveys through her self-proclaimed identification as a “lady” and religious instruction—the grandmother is not, in fact, a good woman. She is flawed and weak, and her age grants her no particular rights for respect or reverence. Second, the Misfit recognizes that when facing death, the grandmother has the capacity to be a good woman. In her final moments, she foregoes the moral high ground she’d staunchly held and instead embraces her and the Misfit’s common humanity. The Misfit observes this shift and seems to realize what it means: if the grandmother could have lived her life at gunpoint, so to speak, she could have gained the self-awareness and compassion that she’d lacked.

Forgive me when I post too many photos of the grouse!
On April 9th 3 friends and I drove south of the city to a Sharp-tailed Grouse lek. I hadn't thought about the degree of difficulty that might challenge me in climbing over the stile with a knee replacement. I really struggled so I do not think I will be returning to see the grouse in future years.
Thanks for your visits, comments and faves! They are all appreciated!
After it's bath it began eyeing the sparrows that had returned to the lilac bush. It flew up to a nearby branch and eyed them before taking off.
The word "sharp" has a number of definitions. The one (and the only one) we are using for this week's theme is "having an edge or point that is able to cut or pierce something".

Was messing around with wall designs and ended up with this thing. Version of Quincy Sharp's office, not really based on anything specific.
Threw a bunch of stuff on his shelves that he's hoarded from his inmates. :)
Tell me what you guys think!

This is a close-up view of a set of three Chicago Cutlery knives. I bought the set for travel to vacation houses (which invariably have terrible, dull knives). These are great for travel since each one has its own protective sheath, but being quite sharp, they are also great for everyday use.
HMM everyone!
